Product details
Overview
SN74CBTD16210DLR from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit FET bus switch with integrated level shifting, designed for bidirectional 5-V-to-3.3-V signal translation in high-speed digital systems. It features dual 10-bit independent switching sections, 5-Ω typical on-state resistance, TTL-compatible control inputs, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. Used in memory expansion interfaces and mixed-voltage processor interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74CBTD16210DLR datasheet, SN74CBTD16210DLR pinout, SN74CBTD16210DLR application, or SN74CBTD16210DLR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in TI's SCDS049H datasheet and official packaging documentation.
Technical Context
The SN74CBTD16210DLR implements two independent 10-bit FET-based transmission gates, each controlled by a dedicated OE input. Its internal diode-to-VCC structure enables passive level shifting without external components, supporting translation from 5-V inputs to 3.3-V outputs under load.
Propagation delay is dominated by the RC time constant of the 5-Ω on-resistance and 50-pF load capacitance, yielding 0.25 ns typical tpd. The device maintains high-impedance isolation (Cio(OFF) = 5.5 pF) when disabled, and draws only 1.5 mA ICC at VCC = 5.5 V with all controls static.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | 20-bit dual 10-bit FET bus switch with independent OE control |
| On-State Resistance | 5 Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop and propagation delay in high-speed data paths |
| Level Shifting | 5-V input to 3.3-V output via integrated VCC-clamp diode - eliminates need for external translators |
| Propagation Delay | 0.25 ns typical (A↔B, CL = 50 pF) - supports >1 GHz signal edge rates in backplane and memory interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails while enabling 3.3-V domain interfacing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level VIH ≥ 2 V / VIL ≤ 0.8 V - ensures robust noise margin with legacy 5-V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
Pinout & Package
SN74CBTD16210DLR uses a 48-pin SSOP (DL) package measuring 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm × 2.4 mm (max height), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with 0.5-mm pitch and Q1 pin-1 quadrant orientation per tape-and-reel specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A10, 2A1–2A10 | Input/Output Port A (Group 1 & 2) | Bidirectional data terminals for first and second 10-bit buses; connected to B ports when OE active |
| 1B1–1B10, 2B1–2B10 | Input/Output Port B (Group 1 & 2) | Bidirectional data terminals; level-shifted output side when A is driven at 5 V |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active-Low) | Independent control per 10-bit section; low = conductive path, high = high-Z isolation |
| VCC | Positive Supply | 5-V rail powering internal clamp diodes and switch bias; sets output high-level reference |
| GND (Pins 8, 17, 35, 44) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated ground pins reduce ground bounce and improve signal integrity in 20-bit parallel paths |
| NC (Pins 1, 48) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pads - must remain unconnected per TI mechanical drawing DGG0048A and DL package spec |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 10-bit control | Enables flexible partitioning - e.g., one 10-bit channel for address, another for data - without cross-talk |
| 5-Ω low on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and skew across 20-bit buses, critical for synchronous DDR and PCI-X timing budgets |
| Integrated level-shifting diode | Eliminates external resistors or translators in 5-V ↔ 3.3-V mixed-signal board designs |
| TTL-compatible OE inputs | Direct interface to legacy 5-V microcontrollers and CPLDs without level-shifter buffers |
| High off-isolation (5.5 pF Cio(OFF)) | Minimizes capacitive coupling between enabled and disabled channels in multiplexed I/O architectures |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Processor-to-Peripheral Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBT16210DGGR | Same 20-bit dual-switch architecture but in TSSOP-48 (DGG); 70°C/W θJA vs. DL's 63°C/W; identical electrical specs. | Preferred for space-constrained layouts where 1.2-mm max height (vs. DL's 2.4 mm) is critical. | Select SN74CBT16210DGGR if board stack height is limited; verify thermal derating for continuous 128-mA channel current. |
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | 3.3-V-only 16-bit transceiver with direction control; no level shifting; 32 mA drive strength; different pinout and function. | Suitable only for same-voltage bidirectional buffering - not a level-shifting replacement. | Choose SN74LVC16245ADGGR only when interfacing two 3.3-V domains and direction control is required; not interchangeable with SN74CBTD16210DLR. |
Compared with SN74CBTD16210DLR, SN74CBT16210DGGR offers identical switching performance in a lower-profile package but requires thermal reassessment, while SN74LVC16245ADGGR serves a fundamentally different function - voltage-level agnostic bidirectional buffering without translation capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for the SN74CBTD16210DLR?
The SN74CBTD16210DLR supports up to 128 mA continuous channel current, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This rating applies per switched path (A↔B) under steady-state conditions and must be observed alongside thermal limits - the DL package has θJA = 63°C/W, so power dissipation must remain within safe junction temperature bounds at full load.
Does the SN74CBTD16210DLR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its OE inputs?
No, the SN74CBTD16210DLR does not require external resistors on OE inputs. Its TTL-compatible control inputs (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) are internally biased; however, TI recommends holding all unused control inputs at VCC or GND to prevent floating states that could cause undefined switching behavior or increased ICC.
Can the SN74CBTD16210DLR translate signals from 3.3 V to 5 V?
No, the SN74CBTD16210DLR is designed specifically for 5-V-to-3.3-V level shifting via its internal diode-to-VCC structure. Driving port B at 3.3 V while expecting 5-V output on port A violates the device's architecture and may result in incorrect logic levels or excessive leakage - it is unidirectional in translation capability.
What is the pin-1 orientation and tape-and-reel specification for SN74CBTD16210DLR?
The SN74CBTD16210DLR uses Q1 quadrant pin-1 orientation in its 1000-unit tape-and-reel packaging (reel width W1 = 32.4 mm, pitch P1 = 16.0 mm). This matches TI's official packaging addendum and ensures compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place feeders calibrated for JEDEC MO-153-compliant SSOP devices.
How does the SN74CBTD16210DLR handle fast edge rates in high-frequency applications?
The SN74CBTD16210DLR achieves 0.25 ns typical propagation delay due to its 5-Ω on-resistance and optimized FET layout, but TI cautions that level-shifting effectiveness diminishes at very high frequencies or with multiple simultaneous switching outputs - in such cases, the output may exhibit reduced voltage swing, requiring validation against actual signal integrity requirements.
